UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION ROY A. DURHAM, JR., Plaintiff v. C-1-13-226 ROB JEFFREYS, et al., Defendants ORDER This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (doc. no. 35) to which neither party has objected. Upon a de novo review of the record, the Court finds that the Judge has accurately set forth the applicable law and has properly applied it to the particular facts of this case. Accordingly, in the absence of any objection by plaintiff, this Court accepts the Report as uncontroverted. The Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (doc. no. 35) is hereby ADOPTED AND INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. 2 The Second Amended Complaint is DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted to the extent that plaintiff has named Rodney McIntosh, Parvez Sarwar, Romanak, Maggard and Bush as defendants and seeks to bring claims challenging (1) the handling of his “kites,” complaints and grievances while he was incarcerated at WCI; (2) the conduct of a RIB proceeding that resulted in his confinement in segregation for a 100-day period at WCI; (3) the denial of recreational and telephone privileges while he was in segregation at WCI; and (4) the failure of defendant Romanak to adequately protect against the loss of plaintiffs “property.” Specifically, claims alleged against McIntosh in paragraphs 38-48 of the Second Amended Complaint, any other claims in the Second Amended Complaint challenging the handling of plaintiff’s complaints and grievances by other named defendants, and the claims alleged in paragraphs 45, 46 and 50 of the Second Amended Complaint are DISMISSED on the ground that plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted by this Court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A(b). 3 This case is RECOMMITTED to the United States Magistrate Judge for further proceedings according to law. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Herman J. Weber Herman J.
